Your New Favorite Happy Hour: Pub Deals That Don’t Suck
Let’s face it: a lot of happy hours are more hype than happy. But not at Queens Arms. Tucked into the heart of Haile Village, this laid-back British-style pub delivers a happy hour that hits the spot without hitting your wallet.
If you’re looking for chill vibes, quality drinks, and pub food you’ll actually want to eat, here’s why this is the happy hour Gainesville locals keep coming back to.
When It Happens (and Why That Matters)
Queens Arms Pub keeps it classic: Happy Hour every day from 3–7 PM. That’s four solid hours of reason to clock out early, wander over, and let the world slow down a little.
No confusing fine print. No one-hour windows that feel like a race. Just consistent, generous timing that makes this a true “stop by whenever” kind of deal.
What’s on the Menu: Drinks that Deliver
The Happy Hour drink specials rotate, but you can count on:
- Half PRICE draft beers, including local IPAs, classic lagers, and British pints
- Discounted cocktails like mules and margaritas (when using “house” or “well” liquor)
- House wine specials for red, white, and sparkling lovers
Whether you want something refreshing, comforting, or strong enough to forget your inbox, they’ve got you covered.
Don’t Forget the Food (Seriously)
Most places hand you a sad little bar menu. Queens Arms goes the opposite route.
Happy hour food favorites include:
- Buttermilk Chicken Tenders
- Pub Wings tossed in house sauces
- Gourmet Burgers
- Loaded fries, wraps and sandwiches
These aren’t just snacks — they’re full-on reasons to skip cooking dinner.
The Vibe: Come as You Are, Stay as Long as You Like
No velvet ropes. No pressure. Just a patio full of people laughing, a bar staff that actually remembers your name, and regulars who welcome you like you’ve been coming for years.
Whether you’re unwinding solo with a pint, catching up with coworkers, or turning a drink into a night out, this is your spot.
Bonus points for being dog-friendly and patio-perfect most of the year.
Pro Tips from the Regulars
- Fridays: Come early — seats go fast before live music kicks off.
- Wednesdays: Pair Happy Hour with trivia for the perfect midweek boost.
- Weekdays: Great for remote workers and quiet conversation.
